Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Two boring characters pummel each other in a cage match for a steak and peas dinner. The fights are bloody knuckles and smashed faces. The first one lasted a ridiculous 8 minutes. However, if you missed that they fight again and again in The Arena (Star Trek Gorn reference).They are apparently held by aliens with a lot of white paint. The acting and dialogue was bad and the idea has been done. Recommend "The Human Race" instead.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Pole dancer.

BRUTAL is a pointless little indie film with sci-fi touches. It involves a couple of men who are held prisoner in futuristic white rooms and forced to fight against their will against each other in brutal cage fights which their captor utilises for entertainment value. Fans of brutal action might enjoy some of the violence depicted here, but overall I found this impossible to like. It's set-bound and near plot less; it might have worked well as a 10 minute short, but stretched to feature length, it's a real bore.

Watching a sci-fi thriller with out as much action just seems Brutal. Big hats off the the director and the actors and of course the stars, the stunt coordinators for putting together this gem of a indie film. It is being hailed and awarded by the MMA world as well as the online horror film community. It is one you will be both covering your eyes to watch as well as not looking away. The tone reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode in all the good ways. It will leave you with questions and thinking about it for days to come. The acting is as solid as the hits and the fight scenes are indeed Brutal as the title promises. It is a violent ride but one that also pauses to accept man's nature and just how much we can endure. Looking forward to more work from this director and team!

Fantastic action shots, opening with a dramatic "ouch moment" that has you looking away. The film keeps you interested all the way through as you gradually watch the plot evolve and see the change in direction and attitude of all the characters. Light hearted moments are in there, but as the title suggests, its not supposed to be a laugh a minute film. The action shots are well filmed and very realistic. The plot certainly isn't a straight forward "violence only" film. It has a gentler side that caused a deal of debate after watching it. Which is great because it obviously offers different things to different people, dependant on your perception of the story. Great movie, well worth the watch.
